Hi all,

Developers Workshop 2006 is getting close, so time for some updates. The 
presentations are set and it looks like we will have a lot of interesting 
things to discuss!

Please make sure you register as soon as possible in case you didn't do 
that yet! We need to know how many people will join for planning lunch. You 
will find the URL for the registration page on the website.

Topics at Developers Workshop:

#  Cairo
~    * General overview of Cairo, its structure and its API.
~    * Showing the Cairo API in live through a lot of examples.

# IOProc replacement
~    * Introduction to a new modular playback engine concept.
~    * Showing what's ready, what's to be done, what are the ideas.
~    * Discussing future possibilities (recording, transcoding...).

# The Voyager Object Model (was SOMH): The desktop will be built on an 
object model similar to SOM. The presentation details the reasons for an 
own object model and how it's implemented.
~    * Tour of the OS/2 desktop
~    * Why not using C++, Objective C, ...
~    * Implementation details
~    * Compatibility with SOM/DSOM
~    * Desktop development roadmap
~    * Using the object model for more

# Everblue

# Voyager - A coder overview about the project
~    * OpenGL as backend for Voyager - current options and problems
~    * Voyager components - where can you contribute
~    * OS/2 & PM compatibility - some crazy ideas worth discussing

# A WM based on Cairo

# Coding for WPS and Voyager

# netlabs.org Certification Program

# Translating Software

The sessions will take the time they need, a shedule will be given soon. 
Note that each session is done once so there are no parallel sessions 
either. We should have enough time for discussions as well, that's what 
Developers Workshop is about after all!
